I do not plan to add specific 8.5 features until it seems to be
finalized and unfortunately that seems to be still a bit away,
however...

... if there area errors, please report them and I might try to fix
them. Tile is probably the most obvious missing feature of current 8.5
releases, but I get the impression there are plans to have tile in the
final release.
